Manufacturing process and features of Orifice Flange

Manufacturing Process:

  • Material Selection : Choose materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or other alloys based on the operating conditions and compatibility with the fluid being transported.
  • Flange Preparation : Begin with standard flange blanks or forgings, which are then machined to the required dimensions and specifications.
  • Bore Machining : Machine the central bore of the flange to accommodate the orifice plate. The bore size and shape are critical to ensure accurate flow measurement.
  • Facing and Surface Finish : Prepare the facing of the flange to ensure a smooth and flat sealing surface. This is crucial for achieving a leak-free connection and accurate flow measurement.
  • Orifice Plate Installation : Position and secure the orifice plate within the flange assembly. The orifice plate is typically placed between two Orifice Flanges and is designed with a precision-calibrated hole that controls the flow rate.
  • Final Assembly : Assemble the Orifice Flange with the orifice plate and the companion flange to create a complete measurement section within the pipeline.
  • Quality Control : Conduct dimensional inspections and testing to verify the accuracy of the bore size, alignment with the companion flange, and overall functionality in flow measurement applications.

Features of Orifice Flange:

  • Flow Measurement: Designed specifically for accurate measurement of fluid flow rates using an orifice plate.
  • Compatibility: Available in various materials and pressure ratings to suit different pipeline applications.
  • Leak-Free Sealing: Machined to ensure a tight seal with companion flanges, preventing leakage and maintaining system integrity.
  • Standardization: Manufactured according to industry standards such as ASME B16.36 or API 605, ensuring compatibility and interchangeability.
  • Versatility: Used in a wide range of industries including oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment for precise flow measurement and control.

Orifice Flanges are critical components in industrial processes where accurate flow measurement is essential for operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

An orifice flange is a specialized type of flange used in conjunction with orifice plates for flow measurement in pipelines. These flanges are typically used in flow metering applications to measure the flow rate of liquids, gases, and steam. They provide a convenient means to install an orifice plate, which creates a pressure drop to calculate flow rate.

Orifice flanges are available in a variety of sizes to match different pipe diameters and pressure ratings. Standard sizes are provided, and custom sizes can be manufactured to meet specific needs.

Orifice flanges are installed by bolting them to the pipeline, with an orifice plate sandwiched between them. Proper installation includes ensuring the orifice plate is centered and securely clamped to prevent leakage. The flanges usually have tapped holes for differential pressure transmitters to measure the pressure drop.

Yes, custom manufacturing solutions for orifice flanges are available to meet specific requirements. Contact us with your detailed specifications, and we will work with you to produce flanges tailored to your needs.

The lead time for orifice flanges depends on the complexity and volume of the order. After reviewing your specifications, we will provide an estimated lead time. We are committed to delivering all projects on schedule while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Yes, orifice flanges are suitable for both liquid and gas applications, provided they are made from appropriate materials and installed correctly to handle the specific conditions of the system, including pressure and temperature.

Orifice flanges are commonly made from materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. The material choice depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the type of fluid or gas, temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions.

Orifice flanges are used primarily in flow measurement applications across various industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, and power generation. They are integral to systems requiring precise flow rate monitoring and control.

Orifice flanges are manufactured to comply with industry standards such as ASME B16.36, which specifically covers orifice flanges. They may also adhere to other relevant standards like ASME B16.5 or API standards, ensuring compatibility and reliability in various piping systems.

Orifice flanges offer several advantages, including:

  • Accurate Flow Measurement: Essential for precise flow rate calculation using orifice plates.
  • Ease of Installation: Simplifies the integration of flow measurement devices into piping systems.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of fluids, gases, and steam applications.
  • Compatibility: Designed to meet industry standards for seamless integration with existing systems.

Regular inspection of orifice flanges includes checking for signs of wear, corrosion, and damage. It is also important to ensure that the orifice plate remains clean and properly aligned, and that the differential pressure transmitters are functioning correctly.
